There is not one wedding that they are all exactly the same. Everyone has their own style and personality and that always stands out in their wedding.<br /><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 21px;">So interesting right?&nbsp;</span>I am going to tell you about all the different traditions and superstitions.

I also think its something that is memorable for you and them. Something that is thoughtful. I have thought of a couple of ideas, you can take them or leave them. But maybe it will get your mind rollin', if you know what i mean..Okay, seriously though here are some neat ideas.&nbsp;</span></div><div><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">1. Do you have a girlfriend that is a coffee lover? Make a mug!</span></div><div><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">2. Wine not? Change a lable on her favorite bottle of wine and make it your own</span></div><div><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">3.Monogrammed&nbsp;jewelry&nbsp;that they can wear in the wedding!</span></div><div><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">4. Make them a kit of all the stuff they are going to be needing while getting ready before the wedding.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">5. Is country your kind of thang? Bye each girl boots for them to wear on the big day!</span></div><div><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Hopefully you will get inspired by these ideas or maybe you take them and turn it into reality.

Wedding cakes are my love, my true love...Just kidding but i really do love to make them because the finished product is always so rewarding specially when you give it the couple. Yes, sometimes it doesn't turn out how you like or how they like, but that what you learn from.&nbsp;</span></div><div><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">What about not having the traditional wedding cake and having pies, cupcakes, actual cheese cakes like liget cheese rounds and pairing it with some nice wine for dessert.

Hey, I have nothing wrong with that, as long as its for the right reasons.</span></div><div><br /></div><div><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I think if it is all for the right reasons then i say why not. If you are the kind of couple that really isn't into he whole "party and invite tons of people" then heck ya I give all props to you.

Why not have super hero themed wedding? Or a beauty in the beast wedding? Or even whimsical fairy tale wedding?&nbsp;</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Whats wrong with having a little fun and twisting things up, its a day that you will remember for the rest of life and it only it happens once, make it fun! I know a friend that did a super hero themed with still keeping it classy and super cute. Her wedding turned out amazing, specially her pictures. They incorporated the super hero themed in a simple easy way. Definitely wasn't over the top, her and her husband did a great job.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Beauty in the Beast wedding, no joke. One of my high school friends literally had a beauty and the beast wedding. They were both really into Disney and so they not only had their wedding at the happiest place on earth but she made the entire event based on Beauty and the Beast.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Whimsical fairy tale wedding? Yes, please. Ball gown, glitter, slick blacked out tux diamonds a pearls a glass shoe.., sounds like a magical day to me. </span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">All these weddings are special, specially to the couple because this is where the start there forever together.&nbsp;</span>Hannah Olsenhttps://plus.google.com/105591999995530692289noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5775883459066500738.post-79274077819531144212014-11-03T14:35:00.000-08:002014-11-03T15:16:55.222-08:00I liked it so i put a ring on it<h4><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">How did he get down on one knee?&nbsp;</span></h4><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-bEHFZe1JXnA/VFgMmEOpvLI/AAAAAAAAAKI/ZNed4kYntp0/s1600/comm.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-bEHFZe1JXnA/VFgMmEOpvLI/AAAAAAAAAKI/ZNed4kYntp0/s1600/comm.jpg" height="213" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Communication=Happy Couple</span></td></tr></tbody></table><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I know its more than him just getting down on one knee and asking "will you marry me?" How was the inflection in his voice? Did he get emotional? Did you get emotional? Did you go to your guy's favorite place? What were you wearing?</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">All these questions that i am asking you is for one reason we want to hear your answers.&nbsp;</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Tell me about your story, i want to hear all about it. It was the norm to get married right out of high school in past in my generation, people look at you like you are crazy if you got married at the young of an age now. Why? I think its because people think we need to find our selves, live the "life" (aka go to college get drunk every weekend), travel, go on tons of DATES, hook up your entire college class....To me this sounds disgusting, hard to believe, kind of makes me ant to throw up a little, actually a lot. ITS JUST SAD.&nbsp;</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">If you are in love, both have stable jobs (working at bank, grocery store, law firm, stay home mom, cleaning lady, whatever the case is) if you have a dream that you want to pursue why not pursue it with the person you love? I see know problem in it.&nbsp;</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">What is your&nbsp;dilemma? Are you in this kind of situation? Sit down,&nbsp;communicate, its is the key to every&nbsp;relationship. If you both put your mind to it, you can pursue your dream.&nbsp;</span>Hannah Olsenhttps://plus.google.com/105591999995530692289noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5775883459066500738.post-16539367810256635902014-10-29T16:53:00.000-07:002014-10-30T15:16:19.007-07:00Happily Ever After<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-6XSuWt8rzPU/VFK4hiSuDtI/AAAAAAAAAJA/SYDqNQ4rj8c/s1600/collage.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-6XSuWt8rzPU/VFK4hiSuDtI/AAAAAAAAAJA/SYDqNQ4rj8c/s1600/collage.jpg" height="147" width="320" /></a></div><h3><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Customizing your happily ever after honeymoon on a budget</span></h3><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It can be difficult.

We are wanting a chic look but still simple and&nbsp;elegant. One of the things that we are struggling with is we are not exactly sure how to include all of the details into the&nbsp;invitation. Other than the date, time, place, and registration. Our venue is a little tricky to find, so i would like to put a map on it, but at the same time I don't&nbsp;want it to look cluttered. Help me!&nbsp;</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b><u>Hannah Says:</u> </b>I am going to let you in on a small secret, you can totally turn it down but this is what i would do if i were you. I would make an enclosure card! Keeping it within the invitation that is a "detailed" paper, this is still keeping it stylish and chic. Enclosure cards are the perfect way to show your guests wedding day details, like registration, maps, attire etc. Easy way to give them important information!&nbsp;</span><br /><br /><h4><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><u>Do you think paper&nbsp;invitations&nbsp;are going out of style?&nbsp;</u></span></h4><div><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My Opinion: I think it totally depends on the kind of person. For me personally, I like getting an&nbsp;invitation&nbsp;in the mail. Going to the mail box looking through all the bills that you need to pay and then a sweet little invite is in the midst of all the depressing stuff. Open it up already! And put on the fridge! Getting a facebook notification, evite, email, tweet just isnt the same to me, by all means if&nbsp;that's&nbsp;your kind of style, fast and easy then go right ahead and do it!&nbsp;</span></div><div><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Tell me how you like to&nbsp;receive&nbsp;invites?
